🔌 Function

Joins two parts of a fluid circuit together, carrying the flow across the joint and sealing it against the pressure in the system.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Weeping or staining at the fitting, or a joint that leaks again soon after being nipped up
• A corroded, rounded or cracked hex, or a thread that will no longer pull up tight

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean both threads and check the sealing face or cone is unmarked before the fitting goes anywhere near the engine
• Seal the joint the way that thread is designed to be sealed — sealing washer, O-ring or thread sealant on a tapered thread — and renew the soft parts rather than reusing them
• Aim the elbow so the hose or pipe leaves it in a natural line, and hold that alignment while tightening; twisting the hose round afterwards to correct the angle loads the joint
• Do not over-tighten to cure a weep, particularly into aluminium or cast housings — strip the joint, find out why it leaked and reseal it properly
• Support the hose or pipe so it is not left hanging on the fitting and passing its vibration into the joint
